Chapter 1 By the Lethe River
When he was still alive, others said that the scenery in the underworld can never compare to the scenery of the world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Now that I think about it, it's just speculation.
I sat quietly on a stone step next to the Lechuan River, and at the turn of the sun and dusk, it was like a spring breeze, like a night.
On the banks of the Lethe River, there are thousands of vermilions. The big manzhu sawa blooms slowly in the middle of the river, like fire, like blood, like a flower. The breeze blows, the petals fly with the wind, falling into the Lethe River, a little bit broken, red everywhere, noble and arrogant, only a piece of fragrance.
There is a palace beside the Lechuan River, surrounded by green bamboo forests and white mist. The black tile and red wall, the golden dragon cornice, and the golden plaque in the center have several gilded characters written on it: Hades Palace.
Hades Palace, I think it is not a stranger to many people, and it is also the place where my Bai Sang can live at this moment.
The boundaries of the earth have always been separated from the human world, either for life and death, or for rebirth. Since the Emperor of Heaven established the order of heaven, earth, and man, everything has his own destiny, which is interlocking, and the cycle of life and death revolves around an eternal cycle of life and death. And the earth realm is maintaining these balances of life and death, and if there is a life, someone will die. Whether it lasts for thousands or 10,000 years, the law will never change. Some people may be unwilling, maybe some people are compassionate, but we can't change it.
And I, too, could not escape fate.
I was originally a mortal, but the fortune teller first said that my life was thin, and I really coughed up blood and died on my twenty-eighth birthday.
The fortune teller also said that the girl's life is a lonely star, which is rare to see in a hundred years, and if there is a master to guide her, she will be able to survive the disaster. At that time, I was innocent and everything was amazing, but how could a joke be taken seriously. Besides, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, so why should I deliberately avoid it?
I don't want his words to come true, and I can't escape the catastrophe. Maybe it was because of the words of my husband that I didn't drink a bowl of Meng Po soup and go to reincarnation like she did, but became a soul attractor.
At first, I didn't believe that I was different, but Black Impermanence told me: "The vast world, life and death, rebirth, and karma are all in the hands of Destiny." Since you have come here, you will have a deep meaning. ”
Her words are not unreasonable, I was born with an unfortunate destiny, but I lost my life due to the will of heaven, so it is better to simply agree.
Black and white impermanence also says that I have a strong sense of the earth, and if I draw twelve souls that died at different times, I will be able to come back to life, and I will be able to know my past and present lives. Although I didn't have much interest in my past life, I was still moved by the thought of being able to return to the world and see my old people again.
Of course, these twelve souls are not the souls of ordinary people after death, but the star souls of the twelve nakshatras. It is said that every thousand years, there will be twelve stars to descend to mortal people, go through life and death, and taste all kinds of suffering, so that the soul after death can withstand the scorching of the flames of the Netherworld, and finally feather into immortals, and re-rank the immortal class.
Although I have to endure the loneliness and coldness of the earth for thousands of years since then, I am very happy to know them, not to mention that I now eat and drink every day, and I no longer have to endure the sufferings of the world.
There are often only four people in the palace, black and white, me, and Meng Po.
Black and white impermanence is not what we think of as black and white, but a woman and a man. Although the three words black impermanence are a bit manly, her original name is snowfall, and white impermanence is called Xingchen.
Snowfall has always been cold and glamorous, and he doesn't talk often, but his appearance is extremely stunning. A green silk is flying, a black dress is cold, and there is only cold frost in the deep eyes, which makes people regress and feel cold at a glance.
However, Bai Wuchang Xingchen's temperament is diametrically opposite, although he has a good skin, he is extremely romantic, and his mouth is the same. If he meets a beautiful female ghost, he will keep calling his sister, and he can even call Meng Po so red that his face is flushed. But he especially likes to dwell on the snowfall. If there is snowfall, they will meet it and keep calling: "Cher, Cher." "Do everything you can to make the beautiful woman smile.
But the snowfall is not easy to provoke, sometimes the left part of Xingchen's body is injured, and the right part is a cut. But even so, he still has the spirit of Xiaoqiang, who can't be killed, and still spends all day around the snow.
Sometimes I really can't look at it, so I will ask the stars: "Why bother to love the snowfall, although it is difficult to find a beauty, but a woman like snowfall, you are really boring to yourself." ”
But Xingchen said: "There are many women in the world, but there are only a few women who are as cold as a white moonlight like snowfall, but I like it." ”
In fact, the snowfall is not unintentional, but she is born without seven emotions and six desires, she said that she will never fall in love with someone, but I know that she hates someone deeply. Because I hate it, I will miss it.
It's just that she doesn't know it.
In fact, the stars are not as thin and merry as they seem.
Meng Po told me: "A thousand years ago, Xingchen was the Sirius King of the Heavenly Realm, and he was heroic and majestic. There are not many fairies in the Heavenly Palace who have trouble sleeping for him, but he never accepts it, and has always faithfully guarded the peace of the Heavenly Realm. But for some reason, the Emperor of Heaven was furious with him, and demoted him from a star monarch above ten thousand people to a white impermanence in the underground palace, enduring loneliness and loneliness all year round, and endless darkness year after year. ”
I think the unspeakable reason for the stars must have something to do with the snowfall, but if he doesn't say it, the snowfall is unknown. I think only the two of them can untie the knot between the two of them.
As for Meng Po, she stayed in Nai He Bridge all the year round, so long that even she forgot how many years had passed. But I have never seen the Emperor of Hades, I have only heard Bai Wuchang talk about the Emperor cultivating outside, but I don't know when he will return.
In addition, on the other side of the Lethe River is the River Styx, where the so-called sea of blood is located. There are white bones, blood covered with seas, ghost-faced fangs, and skeletal insects. It is what is known as the eighteen levels of hell in the mouth of mortals, where the souls of the wicked are to be scourged and tortured after death, and their bones are broken by mourning. There is the origin of suffering, the beginning of terror.
Fortunately, I don't have any control over there, so I rarely go.
